Im always hunting for someone whos solved "sandboxing" because setting it up myself is so damn painful.

Anyone ever find a good product in this space?

Beam seems close, but not quite

A list of sandboxing techniques and products: https://github.com/restyler/awesome-sandbox
Blaxel & E2B use microVMs which is usually the standard for this kind of worloads. E2B feels more ephemeral while Blaxel feels more stateful, depends on what you're looking for. Daytona uses containers, less secure than VMs.

I heard Vercel & Cloudflare launched a sandboxes offering too. Haven't tried it yet but i'm naturally wary of the marketing fluff around their annoucements

i see they mostly offer api to run the sandbox on their infra...is there a way to host the sandboxes self hosted?(how much memory/compute needed?)
what is missing for you?
